What is a custom bike? In this case: A ridged 29er and suspensionless. The experienced owner prefers his ergonomics to be road worthy. Handlebars are low and mated with super narrow cranks (road triple chainline and Q – factor ).

Different graphics and a close up of the Dedacciai S -bend chainstays that give the clearance for a narrow chainline/ Q factor – 150mm.

Customer Lorraine recently competed in the Masters National Track Championships in Nearby Trexlertown, PA. Lorraine was looking for a new track bike and went to Peter for advice. Here’s what they created:

In Pursuit configuration with 5cm of setback as per UCI rules.

Lorraines track bike in the Sprint configuration with the UCI Zero setback
position with dropbars.

Dreesens crafted custom steel bars that are surprising light because of aluminum extensions.

The position and bars were the product of a day long session at T-town with a selection of stems and 3 sets of aero bars.

NOTE: Lorraine went on to three Silver medals, two Bronze medals, three fourth places and a fifth place too. That’s a lot of podium time! All this despite a nasty crash 9 weeks earlier [face planted at sprinting speed, shattered orbit (3 bones that make up her left eye socket and 3 fractures at the back of the eye), concussion, 9 stitches in her eye lid, many layers of skin on the left side of her face and other places gone.]

Lorraine – Way to battle back and kick some butt at Masters Nationals!
